Power cable issue affects Dortmund homes and shops
On August 8th, central Dortmund, Germany, experienced a widespread power outage that lasted from approximately 3:45 PM to around 4:45 PM. The outage affected thousands of homes, shops, and facilities, especially in the northern area of Westenhellweg street. The blackout caused lighting, refrigerators, payment systems, and cash registers to stop working, leading some stores to close early. It also disrupted elevators and escalators at public transportation stations. DEW21 explained that the cause of the outage was a fault in one of the electrical cables, and they managed to repair the issue and gradually restored power before 5:15 PM, after roughly an hour of work.
